Unimog U 1300 L - Oldtimer Firetruck, Unique Prototype & Party Truck

1979 Mercedes-Benz U 1300 L

Unique collector's item & classic car in top condition - party vehicle with business concept! The Unimog U 1300 L alias "Feierwagen" (german for "party truck") belongs to the series of model 435.117 which was only produced in very small numbers (779). This very special one-off was produced in 1979 as a prototype in cooperation with the former fire department equipment manufacturer METZ, presented at the "Interschutz" in Hanover (trade fair) and exists only once in the whole world. Special features: unique orange paintwork with METZ branding, exclusive LF8 box body (higher and wider than any other 435) including original fire department accessories and the two-and-a-half cab (driver, passenger + 7 seats), functional warter pump at the front with original hoses, rotating beacons and original siren (fully functional). The four headlights are not original but true to the original. Roof superstructure is accessible and accommodates a roof box as well as the attachment option for a ladder (ladder not included). Technical details:6 cylinders with 6l engine capacityAll-wheel drive and differential locksOM 352 engine with 131 hp incl. preheating (via connection to a power supply)Vehicle is already registered as a certified classic car in germany (type description from 1979 and expert opinion from 2020 are available, as well as board book, test books and the instructions for the pump)The main technical inspection by the german official inspection institute ("TÜV") was performed in August 2023.The vehicle is categorized in germany as a small truck with a weight under 7.5t.Following its appearance at the trade fair, the Unimog was used by the Curau fire department in Schleswig-Holstein for over 30 years until 2013. An old logbook documents the vehicle's time in service. The current team at the Curau fire department also has fond memories of this time. Following its years of service, the fire engine returned to Germany after a short stay with a collector in Belgium. There, the previous owner (of ours) brought the business concept "Feierwagen" as a mobile bar to life. In 2020, we brought the vehicle from Rhineland-Palatinate to Bavaria, expanded the business concept around the Feierwagen and actively operated it.
The perfectly maintained vehicle not only has a built-in bar, which is mobile and can be put into operation at any location. In addition, there is a business concept around the Feierwagen: This includes the european patent registration of the name, the german website (feierwagen.de), the social media account on Instagram ("feierwagen"), print material for flyers, business cards & Co. as well as all information about the professional & commercial operation of the bar. Not only the vehicle is sold, but also the entire business model with all associated content. The party car has even been part of a music video ("Steve Garrett - Leben so wie ich es mag", produced by SamPlay).
Please note: The price mentioned in the advertisement only refers to the vehicle, the business concept is free of charge. If there is no interest in taking it over, it will be decommissioned. There are no known technical defects. There is no maintenance backlog. The vehicle has always been kept in a protected condition. Unimogs are generally considered to be very robust and durable. The spare parts market (also for this model) is large.
